By Colin Mahan - TV.com Superhero drama is first of the freshman shows to earn award; NBC sued by garbage-disposal maker for scene in pilot. Heroes NBC's new superhero drama Heroes has been given a full-season pickup from the network. In week one, Heroes won the time period in adults 18-49 and came in second in overall viewers. Week two saw ratings hold steady for the story of ordinary people who discover they possess superpowers. "Heroes has delivered exceptional ratings since its premiere, and we're even more impressed with the quality of the upcoming episodes," said NBC TV president Kevin Reilly. "The best is yet to come over the course of a full season with this newest drama sensation." NBC has received a lot of positive feedback from critics this season, but not so much from TV viewers. Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip premiered underwhelmingly, Friday Night Lights struck out, and production on Kidnapped will stop once the show's 13-episode commitment is finished. One gray cloud for Heroes: Appliance maker Emerson Electrics is suing NBC for using its product without authorization in a scene from the show's pilot. The scene depicts teen cheerleader Hayden Panettiere (Claire Bennet) accidentally sticking her hand into the In-Sink-Erator, only to find the mangled appendage quickly repairing itself. Emerson wants NBC to stop airing the scene in repeats and in syndication |

"Heroes" Lawsuit Down the Drain Thursday October 5 2:07 AM ET By Natalie Finn Hopefully you got a good glimpse last week of the teenage girl's hand being mangled by a garbage disposal, because you might not get to see it again. Disposal maker Emerson filed a federal lawsuit Monday against NBC to prevent the network from re-airing the pilot episode of the new drama Heroes, which featured one of the title characters demonstrating her superhuman healing prowess by sticking her hand down the drain. Emerson, obviously concerned that the series' 14.1 million viewers last week were busy looking at the disposal brand instead of Claire the cheerleader's bloody hand, claimed in its petition that NBC Universal Television Studios didn't have the right to show the St. Louis-area company's In-Sink-Erator product and is looking to prohibit any further use by the network of the Emerson trademark. The lawsuit further stated that the scene "casts the disposer in an unsavory light, irreparably tarnishing the product" by suggesting that the appliance "will cause debilitating and severe injuries, including the loss of fingers, in the event consumers were to accidentally insert their hand into one." Not that Emerson is saying you should try this at home or anything. And neither is Heroes, for that matter. |

My sink says In-sink-erator too but it has a Kenmore underneath. Not that it matters. They should not win this frivolous lawsuit. This is TV. You don't see everyone running around screaming Damnit llike Jack Bauer do you?

We tivoed it and missed the last 5 minutes (guessing).
We saw the guy who sees paints the future (Isaac) open the door to the chick who is keeping an eye on Mohinder and then...'would you like to delete this program?'. Can anyone fill me in?  I now have it set to record 5 minutes over (we usually are there to watch it so haven't had this issue). Thanks! *edit* Bah...nevermind...it's up online. |

1. Wax Lion was one of those 'created while you watch' souvenirs [like the penny that's pressed into a picture of The Arch, or the Ashtray pressed from an aluminum billet at the Museum of Science and Industry], at a Niagara Falls gift shop where the star of Wonderfalls [one of the many criminally cancelled Fox shows] worked. Only it's head got crushed, . . . Oh, and it talked to our star and gave her ambigious advice. 2. Brian Fuller is a producer on Heroes, and was the co-creator of Wonderfalls. 3. Wax Lion was on the bedside table of Niki when she first woke up.

Ok, I don't watch the show, but what's up with the "Schtupp the Cheerleader, Schtupp the World" ads?
